Ubuntu Raid Issue new drive

I had a hard drive fail on my server. I am pretty slow when it comes to linux so bear with me. I replaced the drive.

I ran this:

sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb

I then ran:

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/md2 doesn't contain a valid partition table

Somehow I got this but, am very lost:

cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md2 : active raid1 sdb3[2] sda3[0]
      1927689152 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]
      [====>................]  recovery = 23.7% (457343168/1927689152) finish=190.9min speed=128320K/sec

md0 : inactive sda1[0](S)
      25149440 blocks super 1.2

md1 : inactive sda2[0](S)
      524032 blocks super 1.2

unused devices: <none>

I am trying to get md0 added into the raid. I am thinking I have to wait till after this recovery finishes before I do anything else?

UPDATE1 I got a little further but am not sure about md1

# mdadm --stop /dev/md0
mdadm: stopped /dev/md0
# mdadm --stop /dev/md1
mdadm: stopped /dev/md1
# cat /proc/mdstat

thank you

You don't have to wait until the operation finishes, you can add the other partitions now. Since you already added sdb3 you only need to add sdb1 and sdb2 to their corresponding mds

mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1
mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sdb2

Then cat /proc/mdstat should show the correct status for all three partitions.

You may need to reinstall grub to both hard disks if you haven't done that already.
